A very simple model to build. Not many parts to assemble and the painted areas are large and simple to paint.

Some parts have excess molding that needed to be cut away.

This is a pretty straight forward kit to follow straight from the instructions.

The only problem is that it doesn't give a picture of the base of the model on which the completed locomotive will sit. The instructions just says to paint it all black but no assembly instructions.

Other than that it is a fairly simple model to build.

The parts are not designed to be movable. (They can be moved but can break very easily). I have read that different parts can be purchased which replace the plastic beams to make the model completely movable.

No problems found with this kit other than as it is a small model little things need to be painted with a steady hand. The same with the decals as they need to be in specific places as some of them have holes on them.
